  1. Cold

    Share Share Post
    An old cure is to drink boiled buttermilk and plenty of sugar in it. This drink sweats you and if you repeat the dose a few nights the cold will be cured. Another cure is to drink boiled flaxseed and some lemon juice and sugar.

    A cure is to get nine ivy leaves and hang them up and when they begin to decay the warts will also disappear.
